Appendix G- Environmental Noise Assessment · MCU23/0078

7 Recommendations
Compliance with the criteria outlined in Section 5 is predicted to be achieved based on the inclusion of the
recommendations outlined below.

7.1             Onsite Residential Building Attenuation
It is recommended all onsite residential dwellings are constructed to achieve a total noise reduction of at
least 25dB. Details regarding sound reduction requirements for habitable rooms are presented in Table 17.
Table 17: Recommended Residential Building Attenuation

                Required Sound Reduction Rating (Rw) for Habitable Rooms

      Glazing*           Glazing*          External            Roof and           Entry Doors
      > 1.8m 2           ≤ 1.8m 2           Walls               Ceiling
       Rw 27               Rw 24             Rw 35               Rw 35                Rw 28

*Glazing area refers to total glazing area in a room, not the area of a single window / sliding door.
Based on sound reduction requirements for 25dB reduction from Queensland Development Code MP4.4, Schedule 1

7.2             Management Strategies
The following management strategies are recommended:
     a. Operating hours to be limited to 7am – 2am.

     b. Amplified music for restaurants to be limited to background music only.

     c. For the outdoor entertainment area:

           i.    Speakers to be located within the southern section of the entertainment area to remove direct
                 line of sight between speakers and onsite receiver facades.
